It is a common request and I think it can be useful. The problem with beryl blur is that it is way too slow.
I haven't poured through all of their code but I strongly suspect that there is some intensive code to work out where to blur. I would be happy with just a basic blur under transparent windows. Is there anything that can be done in the core to make effects underneath transparent windows easier? The other problem with the blur was that 100% transparent parts of the window were blurred so corners of the windows had strange looking blurring. There is a basic blur plugin here, all my attempts to get it working have failed so I would welcome any tips. Could the core be changed to support these blur functions? http://forum.go-compiz.org/viewtopic.php?t=207 _______________________________________________ compiz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz
